It’s time for you to store away those winter coats. No more wool or dark colors either. Why? It’s spring. Yes, you can still wear that black dress, but don’t forget the color. Spring is all about versatility and color. Pink, blue, orange, and yellow are a few colors to get you started. Ok, so you have you’re colors. Now what?

Lately I have been seeing everyone wearing high waisted skirts. What else could put someone in the springtime mood? These skirts come in every color, every design, and every size. Whether you’re a size 2 or a size 16, there is a high wasted skirt out there waiting for you. Flowers, stripes, and other cool designs are out there in colors like lavender, baby blue, and a powdery pink.

Now you’re wondering where to find these skirts. I have made you’re mouth water long enough. My favorite place in the WORLD to shop is Forever 21. With the economy the way it is, you would not like to spend a fortune on one little skirt. That’s where Forever comes into play. Who could go wrong with a place that has the word “sale” printed in a row across the windows? I sure wouldn’t. The skirts are anywhere from $12.95 to $24.95 and they also have a great selection of accessories, tops, and sweaters.

Another important key for a springtime extravaganza is to curl you’re hair. Leaving it straight was for the winter. It’s spring now and what would look better with that high waisted skirt then a few bouncy curls? Don’t forget to be you and express yourself through your fashion, hair, and beauty.

I’m back! I know it took me a minute, but this blogging thing it not easy for me, I’m just a hairdressa after all…… So since I am off to a slow start, I thought I would first answer some of the many questions sent to me by you guys and maybe we can get some good discussions going. Fill free to hit me up with your comments and any more advice that might be related to the question.

Lara from NY: I have naturally wavy hair but L like to wear it straight, what is the most efficient way to de-frizz?

Lara, the best thing for wavy or curly hair to de-frizz is to first give your hair a really good deep conditioner; this is one that is highly moisturizing that you sit under the dryer with for at least 10 minutes. Next make sure that before you blow dry your hair you add a leave-in conditioner, preferable one that is meant to smooth and straighten the hair. The most important part about de-frizzing your hair while getting it straight is to blow your hair from wet. If your hair is healthy and in good condition, it is not damaging to blow dry from wet. Once you have set your hair by sitting under the dyer or by a roller set it takes more heat and more tension to get it straight with a blow dryer (which will never be enough heat to get it straight). Blow drying from wet allows the hair to get smooth with not as much heat or tension. Also make sure that you have the right brush to dry your hair with, I recommend a Denman brush; these are the best brushes to detangle the hair and gets the hair nice and smooth without pulling hair out or breaking hair. If you take the right steps to blowing your hair dry, you will have to use less heat with an iron, which is always better with in the long run.
